Wonderful Radio London or "Big L" was a United Kingdom unlicenced off-shore commercial station, with studios and transmitter aboard a former US Minesweeper anchored three and a half miles off Southeast England from late December 1964, until 3 p. m. on Monday, August 14, 1967.

Origin of the Station

Wonderful Radio London was the brainchild of Don Pierson who lived in Eastland, Texas, USA. According to an interview conducted by Dr. Eric Gilder with Don Pierson which was published by Sibiu University Press in Romania during 2001, Don Pierson got the idea in 1964 to start Wonderful Radio London while reading The Dallas Morning News. The newspaper carried an account of the start-up of Radio Caroline and Radio Atlanta from two ships which at that time were anchored off the coastline of Southeast England.

Pierson said he was captivated by the fact that these two offshore broadcasting operations were the first and only all-day commercial radio stations serving England. Because Pierson was an entrepreneur, he compared the number of stations then serving the population of Northwest Texas where he lived, with these two stations serving the population of England. As he told his story, he concluded that he had an idea that would be worth a lot of money. Find Nearby Dallas Car Dealers at Edmundscom.
